Future B1G school #16 UCLA leads #20 Maryland at halftime, 49-20.
Ouch.
Maryland is shooting 2-11 (18%) from 3 and 31% overall.
Yep and live turnovers leading to easy layups for the Bruins
Never understood Terps high ranking this year. Was almost comical
Because the conference’s fifth or sixth best team lost to the PAC 12s best team?
Illinois 79
UCLA 70
I starting to wonder if the Illini are pretty salty - they also beat the best Big 12 team…crazy that Penn State beat them in their house though!😉
Not trying to be a smart ass but what do you mean by a "live" turnover? I've never heard that expression.
It is interesting that a conference loaded with traditional power teams and lots of money, always seems to have strong teams but rarely (or never) seem to have THAT team. While I think Purdue could certainly be a final 4 contender I’m not sure I see them as a win it all type of team.
As opposed to dead ball turnovers like throwing the ball out of bounds or traveling where the defense can get set.
Gotta have the guards. The Big Ten hasn't been a guard dominated league in quite a while.
I really think that B1G officiating is at least partially responsible for the failure of the B1G in the NCAA tournament. B1G officials are inconsistent but generally allow a lot more hand checking, reducing freedom movement. JMHO.
Maybe NIL money will swing the pendulum more in the B1G's favor. They will be able to pay all the players the cheating bluebloods did under the table before.
